I am on the list for the Merck study.  I have done the screening and will know if I am accepted within a week or so.  It is already underway and  added a few new slots on Aug 27th.  Would love to hear from anyone already doing the study.  The coordinator at the center said it is going great with no viral load within two weeks on most of the people.  It is study # NCT01717326 ON TNE CLINICAL TRIALS WEBSITE

There are many studies without Interferon.
Many have eliminated the virus with the new meds.
Hopefully treatment for Hepatitis C in the future will be "All oral" meaning no injections of Interferon.

It depends on what your Genotype is.
